There are two identical small holes of cross-sectional area $a$ on the opposite sides of a tank containing a liquid of density $\rho$. The difference in height between the holes is $h$. The tank is resting on a smooth horizontal surface. The horizontal force that must be applied to the tank to keep it in equilibrium is

  • A
    $gh\rho a$
  • B
    $\frac{2gh}{\rho a}$
  • C
    $2\rho agh$
  • D
    $\frac{\rho gh}{a}$

If a small orifice is made at a height of $0.25\, m$ from the ground in a tank filled with water up to a height of $1\, m$,the horizontal range of the water stream will be (in $cm$):

Water is filled in a container up to a height of $3\,m$. $A$ small hole of area $A_0$ is punched in the wall of the container at a height of $52.5\,cm$ from the bottom. The cross-sectional area of the container is $A$. If $A_0/A = 0.1$,then $v^2$ is......... $m^2/s^2$ (where $v$ is the velocity of water coming out of the hole).
